2018 Spring Training Games

[imb]

The first game is Friday???? I can't wait to see our large sons out on the baseball diamond scoring the runs again soon!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm close enough to pop over for a day trip. I've never been to spring training before and I'd like to be able to say I've done it at least once. JFC when did spring training tickets get so expensive?

i'd rather go when they're in the workouts phase than the boring ass games

[Sammy Sofa]

Ah, yes, ST games; when it suddenly goes from, "holy horsefeathers, real baseball is right around the corner," to, "holy horsefeathers, spring training IS NEVER GOING TO horsefeathering END" after about 2 games.

if there's games on TV and regulars playing, that's enough to hold my interest (or prospects back when we were awful and had great ones), but it gets very old very fast

[Cubswin11]

Yeah it pretty much turns from me being excited about finally having baseball back to just watching and hoping nobody gets hurt and pitchers aren’t throwing 5 MPH slower for a month of meaningless baseball.

oh that's the other thing...having to endure all the meatballs when good pitchers get smacked around

I'd rather listen to that than breathless horseraces for roster spots based on spring training slash lines.

That’s always great when like Scherzer or someone has like a 10 era because he gave up 5 runs in his first 6 innings over 2-3 starts and people start freaking out. Even though it’s usually entirely meaningless unless the velo is way down and doesn’t trend up as ST moves on.

I guess it'll be somewhat interesting to see the battle for who claims the last bullpen spot? I mean that's the only real spot up in the air, right? that's really grasping at straws (what does that even mean, btw) but it's cool on some level when some sort of baseball is happening. but yes, it's a bit of a [expletive] tease quite quickly

Got to go to road games. I'm guessing it got expensive when they moved out of Ho Ho Kam.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

My god, there are so many games.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Michael Roth gets the start Friday, Eddie Butler Saturday and Jen-Ho Tseng Sunday.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

wow, david should have put that in the wacky poll. never would have pegged him for our #1 starter.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Michael Roth gets the start Friday, Eddie Butler Saturday and Jen-Ho Tseng Sunday.

 

You can't fool me. The first two are 80s rock stars.

[imb]

I am investing in Roth's ERA 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

[ConstableRabbit]

I am investing in Roth's ERA 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

He’s good for 59.2 innings, then you have to take him out and retire the side.

[Bull]

Are the ones listed as CUBS.COM audio only?

[David]

tomorrow's game will be on mlb network

[Brian]

should I have heard of Michael Roth before today?

 

(after a quick google, the answer is no)
